What Have You Cooked Recently?

Recently made several stuffed peppers. Froze whatever I didn't eat, so I can have those whenever the mood strikes me.

Pot roast for a gluten allergy.
Couldn't find gluten free onion soup mix so I used veggie stock and gluten free fried casserole onions.
Worked out pretty good. The onions and breading melted completely into the liquid overnight in the crock pot, which was what I hoped for.
 
Saturday I cooked a casserole more or less created from my own imagination.
Cavatappi noodles, lean turkey meat, corn, mushrooms, stewed tomatoes, black beans, and tomato soup with whole milkie.
For just around $30 of ingredients, it'll feed an army...or a guy living alone to cover the meals for the week.

I got a solid pound of a kings cut steak from the store yesterday, so I put it in my deep pan and threw in my honey barbecue marinade with a bit of scotch to let it sit for 24 hours. Cooked it to a nice medium rare and parceled it out to make cuts and sandwiches for the rest of the week.

Steak Benedict last night. Hollandaise came out too thick though, and I made the dumb mistake of adding lemon to the recipe.

I'll be cooking up a pork stir fry tonight after work.

I've been making a lot of beef stir fry with bell peppers and scallions and pork chops. I really want to cook another really good steak but haven't had time to look for the meat so far.
 
Meatloaf. V2 of a "oh shit this is going bad" mix from a few weeks back.

80/20 ground beef
package of bacon bits
2/3 of a bottle of bulgogi sauce
gluten free casserole onions
1/4 cup red lentils
small can of sliced mushrooms

divvied it into loaf pans, baked them about 45min at 375, then flopped them all out onto a baking pan, back in the oven turned off to coast for a little while and solid up

very good

grew out of not-so-great ground beef and not-so-great cold cuts experimenting
next time maybe fancy ham like proscuitto and a different brown than bulgogi

I recently discovered a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe that calls for Bisquick instead of your standard dry ingredients and I was initially really sceptical, but I'm known for my morbid curiosity. You know what? These are some damn tasty cookies. They have a very shortbread/pie crust like texture that's very nice.

I'm not too surprised; I was one cup short of flour on a cookie recipe so I used a cup of pancake mix and it turned out pretty much the same if it was another cup of flour. Also I've heard the box cake mixes make pretty good cookies too?

I've tried cake mix cookies before, they were pretty good! I think I used a red velvet mix and gave them a powdered sugar dusting.
 
Somebody didn't like the ground sausage so it ended up to me to make something with it.
Meatloaf time.
3/4 of a pound pork sage ground sausage
1 pound 85/15 ground beef
1 pound similar ground turkey
3/4 cup red lentils
small can mushrooms
can mixed veggies
gluten free casserole onion
heaping tblspoon minced jar garlic
heels of a jar of medium red salsa

It's in at 350. What will the results be? Suspense!

edit:
Not bad
also there was half a red onion in there

It would have been better in small loaf pans then thrown onto a baking sheet to finish, and I needed to mix the meat more.

Wtf can you make with shitloads of spinach, lettuce and endive? The garden has overproduced and all my neighbors are Asian and dont eat much of what I'm growing (I gave my neighbors some radishes and she tried peeling it)
Spinach can go good in some savory pies or wilted in a pan with other things. Lettuce I can't really think of much beyond salads or wraps. Endive can be grilled depending on how robust it is.
 
Meatloaf time.

Does your meatloaf hold together without a binder (ie eggs)? You mentioned a gluten allergy in the thread, I've had amazing results with quinoa in lieu of bread crumbs.

actually just made meatloaf tonight, here was my recipe cobbled together via the nobody's gone grocery shopping for a week and somebody used all of the Worcestershire sauce in bloody marys method:

2 pounds ground beef
1 pound mild italian sausage
2 small yellow onions
1 green bell pepper
2 sticks celery
1 tbs jarred minced garlic
1 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sriracha ketchup
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 tsp anchovy paste
1/2 cup leftover veg french dip sandwich broth (portabella mushroom base)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp tony chachere creole spices
15 cranks of black pepper


Giant loaf on a baking sheet surrounded by slices of stale white bread to soak up the grease (those get thrown away) in the oven at 350 for 1 hour and 30-45 minutes, glaze with sweet baby ray's towards the end of cooking.

Not the healthiest dish but it fed 6 people + seconds with leftovers to spare. Served with mashed taters (including giant garden grown yukon golds!) and balsamic glazed carrots.
